Imaginary Time Evolution (QITE) approximates this evolution on quantum hardware but suffers from high circuit depth and numerous measurements. In this work we introduce Adaptive-time Compressed QITE (ACQ), a novel algorithm that reduces…

It has previously been shown that varying the numerical timestep during a symplectic orbital integration leads to a random walk in energy and angular momentum, destroying the phase space-conserving property of symplectic integrators. Here…
